Feline Coronaviruses Identified in Feline Effusions in Suspected Cases of Feline Infectious Peritonitis [PDF]
Ninety-five effusion samples were collected from cats with suspected feline infectious peritonitis in northern Taiwan; these samples showed a 47.4% (45/95) feline coronavirus (FCoV) positivity rate on immunofluorescence staining and RT-PCR. Young cats (≤24 months old) were found to have a significantly higher risk than cats >24 months old (odds ...

Feline calicivirus (FCV) is an important and highly prevalent pathogen of cats. It belongs to the family Caliciviridae which includes other significant pathogens of man and animals. As an RNA virus, high polymerase error rates convey upon FCV a high genome plasticity, and allow the virus to respond rapidly to environmental selection pressures.
